The space costume worn by astronauts on the Moon as part of the Artemis mission has been redesigned with new technology to make it look more like its current attire but perform more complex tasks
3D scan:
Designed to allow astronauts to perform better, these new space wear, sleeves, arms, and head rests, flexibility in the hips and knees, make for smooth travel on the lunar surface.
NASA plans to take a 3D scan of each astronaut's entire body, providing them with great comfort and a wide range of functions.
Low gravitational force:
In the famous video of Jean Cernan, the American astronaut and last man on the moon, he jumps like a rabbit on the surface of the moon. This is one of the problems that NASA wants to eliminate with this new design.
Designed to be interchangeable, this new space attire can be used to suit the low gravity of the space or the planet's surface.
Advanced Shoulder Structure:
The new dress will allow astronauts to perform environmentally-based functions, such as oxygen to survive in carbon dioxide-rich environments, or a heating system suitable for cold temperatures.
By means of the rear entrance of this space suit, it enables the wearer to enter the space suit. It also provides better mobility and safety with an improved shoulder system
You can lift objects above the head:
Most importantly, this space dress is designed to allow movement so astronauts can lift objects above their heads.
Since astronauts rely on gravity rather than legs to move around in space, the trousers (pants) and shoes (boots) are designed to be partially gravitational.
Clear protection:
The lower trunk will be molded with advanced materials and joint bearings. Each astronaut will be given hiking style shoes that are flexible to the legs.
NASA will replace the existing microphones in the helmet to deal with problems such as sweat and other inconveniences, and the new system will be integrated into the upper body. And the astronauts helmet is going to be completely changed.
Visor will have a clear protective visor that protects the pressed bubble from any wear and tear or abrasions of planetary systems and debris.
By the end of 2024:
Quick swap is the ability to change the visor before and after astronauts walk into space. There is no need to return it to earth for repairs.
In the Department of Anthropology and Biomechanics at NASA's Johnson Space Center, astronauts who travel to the moon will perform a full-body 3D scan as they perform the expected movements in space. With the three-dimensional model available, NASA will produce astronaut-friendly space costumes.
NASA has set a mission to send humans to the Moon's south pole by the end of 2024. NASA is targeting long-range missions, including the next generation of space wear.
